Jelly glassy


Isn't it such a simple and smart idea? Since the whole world is concern about the environment protection, a quartet of sparkling young minds called the way we see the world came out with and idea to protect the environment by creating an biodegradable and edible drinking glass.

The glass is made of agar agar which is a hydrocolloid derived from a sea algae that is used in food preparation and they called it as Jelloware. It is cast in different flavors such as lemon-basil, ginger-mint, or rosemary-beet, each designed are correspond with specific beverages, thus making it edible cups. They're definitely an environmentally friendly option to their less-tasty counterpart, the plastic cup.



However, if you don't dare to gobble up the whole glass, you can just throw it on the grass. The uneaten portions of the glasses are meant to be tossed on the grass and allows the growing of grasses when your lawn party is over, since it is made from agar which is seaweed extracts and made up of subunits of the sugar galactose, it promotes the growth of plants.


So, What's more than eco-green than this? A drinking glass that you need not to be thrown away, or recycle, but eat it and let it(grass) grow.
